Another way to cut the folding miter is to use a dado blade tilted to 45 degrees. That's what I was going to do in the first place, before I noticed the V-groove bit. The V-groove bit takes longer to make the cuts, though, and router bits get dull a lot faster than blades.
While it takes some time to cut the folding miters, it takes no time at all to assemble - just fold and tape the miters. This method would work just as well for larger drawers made from thicker plywood, but you'd want to use that dado blade instead of the router bit to speed things up.

John, I like that drawer seperator idea. Been wanting to try the bend plywood drawer also. Thanks

@joelhollingsworth2374 Год назад

If you had it to do again, would a table saw kerf help the router work more efficiently? It shouldn't be too difficult to keep that kerf within the envelope of the final cut, so long as it's only half or 3/4 the total thickness.

@JohnHeisz Год назад

@@joelhollingsworth2374 Yes, good idea :)

@MelbourneClimbingSchool Год назад

My table saw won't take a dado stack (AFAIK), is there a way to accurately do it with a normal blade? Or in this case is the router bit the better option?

@billparrish4385 Год назад

@@MelbourneClimbingSchool I would imagine a regular table saw blade with an ATB grind (each alternating tooth leans left, then right) would work, but you'd have to use 2 different rip fence settings. If you cut a kerf with one of these that's not all the way through, you know the bottom of the groove has 2 'points' with a raised ridge in the middle. So to use that, tilt the blade over at a 45 degree and set the height on a piece of scrap of the same material as your boxes, so that it is just shy of cutting all the way through, with the rip fence set at the shorter distance, from the edge of the blank to the depth of the groove, with the ATB kerf cutting its topmost 'point' into the point of the V-groove. Then flip the scrap blank around, and set the rip fence at a longer distance, equal to going from the top of the V-groove to the opposite edge of the blank, making sure the opposite 'point' of the ATB kerf is nestled up into the point of the first cut, and cut out the remainder of the V-groove. So to batch them out, do all the short 'rip fence distance' cuts on all the blanks first, then flip them around, set the fence to the longer distance, then cut out the remainders of all the V-grooves on that run.

Love the up-down offsets, and that it means there is no additional wasted space for drawer dividers. I had another thought - putting a shallow groove along the under side of the top panel about 1/2in back from the front edge. And in the top dividers too. That way when you pull the drawers out, they'll tilt down a bit for easier access.
